During our 3 month stay on the Big Island our dog began suffering some dental distress.

I called Keauhou Veterinary Hospital on a Friday morning regarding his condition and they felt it might be wise to get it checked out right away and they would work him into their schedule. We dropped him off and met with Dr. Head that afternoon. He explained there was severe decay and gum infection in various locations and felt it should be taken care of right away. Even though it was late Friday afternoon he said he would gladly do the complete procedure first thing Saturday morning. We dropped Toby off in the morning and picked him up in the afternoon. Dr. Head successfully took care of all necessary extractions, complete cleaning and polishing.

Dr. Head and his staff were extremely accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. The cost for the multiple extractions, cleaning, etc. was lower that I expected based on similar procedures done at my vet in Oregon. They have the latest technology in regard to dental x-ray, anesthesia, anesthesia monitoring, and cleaning. We felt very comfortable with the safety of our dog with these folks.

I would highly recommend Keauhou Veterinary Hospital. If they were in Portland, Oregon Dr. Head would have all my business. Their professional staff and facility is impressive.

We found the best.......Keauhou Veterinary. Dr. Head and his staff are kind,compassionate, and well informed. They were there for us before,during and after our appointment.
We did try other vets but we did not have a good feeling when we left. This is not true with Keauhou Veterinary it was an instant match. The cost of services, meds, and pet supplies were very reasonable. I would encourage anybody looking for an outstanding vet try Keauhou Veterinary , you will not be disappointed.

We recently got referred to this practice by our veterinary office on the east side of Hawaii. He said our dog needed an extensive back surgery, and we were very afraid, spinal surgery sounds dangerous. He told us Dr. Head was the only person on this island that could make our dog walk again. He was right! Not only did his staff take amazing care of us while we waited for all the tests to run but they took exceptional care of our beloved dog. Dr. Head's surgical skills are unmatched on the Big Island. We have talked to numerous people on both sides of the Island who have used this practice and this doctor for extensive medical and surgical issues and they all agree that would never take their pet any where else. We are so grateful for them giving us back our happy ,pain free, 4 legged furry member of our family. Blessing to you and your amazing staff and to all the furry family members who's lives you touch. We are forever thankful.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Head, his wife, and the entire staff of Keauhou Veterinary Hospital, for the wonderful and compassionate care they each gave to my beloved kitty. Although we were brand new to their clinic, and in crisis, they treated us as though we were family, and did everything in their power to ensure that the highest level of loving care and professional treatment was provided at all times. Dr. Head is a brilliant veterinarian -- no other vet on the island can match his skills, compassion and knowledge. They are the ONLY clinic on the island with state of the art diagnostic equipment for X-rays and digital dental imaging too -- I would never go to anyone else.

I have been a patron of Keauhou Vet Clinic for many years. I was sorry to see Dr. Poleshuk leave but have been more than pleased with the new vet/owner, Jacob Head. Jake is a local boy who attended high school here in Kona and is a caring, personable and highly trained veterinarian. He has cared for both my cat and dog with tremendous results. I often recommend him to people looking for a vet they can trust. I would also like to compliment Dr. Head's staff on their loving and efficient attention to my pets.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Keauho clinic. I was very pleased with the service and time Dr. Head took to look over my cat. My cat seemed very comfortable with the doctor. Unfortunately for charlie we also left with a diet plan and some new food to get her weight down. I was very impressed with the professional atmosphere and would recommend the Keauho clinic to anyone who loves their pets.

I was an old customer of Keauhou Vet Clinic and have continued to be a customer now with the new owner, Dr. Head. I am so happy to see a new young couple taking over the practice. They have made so many new improvements and have upgraded all aspects of the service. I know there will always be people who are dissastisfied with service but I don't think you can find a better verterinarian in Kona than Dr. Head. Keep up the good work.

I came in to buy pet food and found the staff to be very nice. They had the products I needed. I like that the invoice was easy to read and instructions for feeding were printed at the bottom. I was not a client here but I found my self scheduling an appointment for my boxer. The appointment went well I felt very confident that the exam was through and and the Dr. was very laid back. I will recommend them.
